In-house papers everything internally with Claude now. A $300m M&A deal used to generate a million in fees +/-. Now it’s maybe $300k and you paying most of that for a legal opinion letter, and hand holding through regulatory clearances and basically zero dollars for diligence and zero dollars for drafting docs.

|
Date: October 27th, 2026 1:54 PM Author: Rage Problems No one is drafting the transaction docs in M&A inhouse with Claude. The firm lawyers probably already are though. Diligence is actually probably more costly now because AI can spin up so many new requests so quickly and be anal as fuck. M&A is one of the protected fields.

We are papering a $300m M&A right now internally and the only thing I need outside counsel for is legal opinion letters and their hand holding me through SFC landmines. Claude is doing everything else. It also built my $1bn private markets book for me with $20k in outside counsel spend for some sanity checks. Our legal spend it down at least 50% in the last year.

Where it’s not saving any money is litigation because pleadings are longer and everything is slop and in-house lit doesn’t have time to spend 4 hours a day taking to Claude the way transactional lawyers do.

|
Date: October 27th, 2026 5:57 PM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . In-house litigation is/was always a volume practice. Any shop with enough litigation to bring in an in-house dedicated litigator is saddling the guy with 30 or 40 or 200 cases. The guy is just there to police spend. He is never drafting pleadings or motions. Commercial practice is never that kind of volume game so you have time to work with Claude to paper whole transactions. In-house lit has too much volume to wait the 10 minutes for a Claude turn. The economics aren’t going to be the same. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5914893&forum_id=2#50207109) |

Date: October 27th, 2026 4:31 PM Author: titus chicken I’m in a similar position and we’re doing 95% of our term sheets in-house and using outside counsel for first time on deal docs for a new transaction but using AI when it’s similar to something from before.
Long term issue is that some of the non-legal folks are going to start to use Claude to do this stuff on their own and then I’m fucked. |
